I agree entirely with George. My set up is exactly the same way. The key is to make things as symmetrical as possible so you don't have to think when tired.

Hal N4GG asked a question much like this a few months ago.

The results are here:

and a related question:

For me the radios are interchangeable. As a result I have the station setup with that in mind.

- Radios are equal or the same.
- Amps both put out the same amount of power.
- All the antennas can be switched to either radio.
- Receive antennas can be switched to either radio or both.

I want to make band changing as easy as possible - so I will
never find it to hard to do no matter how tired I am.

The above setup gives me the most flexabilty.

I do not favor one radio over the other in my mind either
I just run or S&P as the contest/band conditions require.
